Introduction

To enhance and efficiently manage the operation and dispatch of an electrical power system, it is essential to review the key types of electrical equipment and load profiles (such as Switchgear, Protection, Transformers, Motors, VSDs, UPS, Batteries, MCCs, and Cable Systems), along with their specifications and characteristics.

This Load Forecasting and System Upgrade training course will involve both practical and theoretical exercises. Participants will engage in the installation of load forecasting study analysis and system upgrade for electrical power systems. Additionally, the course will cover practical and theoretical exercises related to load shedding analysis.

This training course will feature:

  • Power system component, load types, load estimation and load forecasting
  • System analysis and simulation using ETAP
  • Powers System Upgrading, Analysis & Load Forecasting
  • Load Sampling Rate, Load Forecasting
  • Load Forecasting Techniques & Procedures

What are the Goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Develop and understand electrical system design/specification by basic principles
  • Determine and apply key electrical principles from codes, standards & DEPs
  • Apply specification focus of key types of electrical equipment
  • Analyze and design MCCs, Cable Systems, including specification & maintenance requirements
  • Develop and understand real and reactive power scheduling of each power plant
  • Be competent with solving problems of economic operating dispatch
  • Develop and apply the operation constrains for load forecasting and upgrade
  • Develop short/medium/long term load forecasting
